John 18:3-12

3So Judas took a company of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

4Then Jesus, knowing everything that was about to happen to him, went out and said to them, “Who is it that you’re seeking?”

5“Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “I am he,” Jesus told them. Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with them.

6When Jesus told them, “I am he,” they stepped back and fell to the ground.

7Then he asked them again, “Who is it that you’re seeking?” “Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

8“I told you I am he,” Jesus replied. “So if you’re looking for me, let these men go.”

9This was to fulfill the words he had said: “I have not lost one of those you have given me.”

10Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)

11At that, Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword away! Am I not to drink the cup the Father has given me?”

12Then the company of soldiers, the commander, and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus and tied him up.
